Andrea Mitchell: “Hurray Donald: Screw Hillary”

Mitchell thinks that Trump is tough on terrorism and that Hillary Isn’t.

“This really does put Hillary Clinton on the spot,” the MSNBC host opined. “She has campaigned on her resume, on her advantages having been part of the administrations — secretary of state, a senator on Armed Services [committee] — yet, Donald Trump is still communicating toughness in a way that she hasn’t been able to.”

He'll never do anything about it. He's got a gut as big as a Volkswagen, with a Bud Light logo on it. He'll yell and bluster and threaten to fight anyone who doesn't accept how tough he is. But at the first sign of conflict, he'll have to suddenly run to the mens room.

The difference is, Drunk Uncle doesn't have a staff of thousands to do his bidding, and a military, and that red button on his desk.

dumbish Mitchell just gave a list of Hillary's solid achievements and jobs which make her more prepared and knowledgeable on the issues.

“She has campaigned on her resume, on her advantages having been part of the administrations — secretary of state, a senator on Armed Services"

And what did the chickenhawk say to award him the worth-less-than-nothing Mitchell praise? I actually missed it. Was it his prediction that there will be more?

Mon Sep 19, 2016, 03:42 PM
Sep 2016

you really are a one joke show, do you fully realize, that you and others gave this right wing racist a free pass for years, and your duplicity is just remarkable.

You sit at home and the "air", doing exactly what?

Your husband rakes in a federal subsidy on retirement, you make millions being a right wing hypocrite, on foreign policy, and then you have the audacity to say that your fascist bigot dumpster has more toughness.

Did you by chance forget with your so called years of experience recall, that your right wing "mission accomplished" lackey, took and did not succeed in killing a murder, when he had the opportunity in Tora Bora. And now you put a bone spur draft dodger as being tough at the top of your rail of hypocrisy, which isn't very high to begin with, while over 56,000 died in a conflict that was using anyone that couldn't vote has fodder, hell he the dumpster couldn't even go down to the draft board, he did everything by letter.

And just for giggles your dumpster fascists, has not released his tax returns, you know those pesky little paperwork, that will more than likely show that orange hair guy, who wants to put up a hotel in Russia, is going to somehow get a pass by you, when his "great guy" Putin goes around and more than likely, after he gets his former KGB operating within the government again, under another name called the FBG, going around and assassinating people, and invading countries, so in essence you side with a "guy" that thinks a dictator with ratings of 82% is just great and has made opposition reporting in Russia deadly, and now being espoused by the fascist bigot here in this country, that he thinks are mean to him, and this is a great thing, in your concept of "toughness".
Your just as bad as the coffee "guy" at 6 AM and the meet more right wing press at 5PM.

So again Mr. Greenspan what do f***ing propose?

In my humble opinion, not much really just making millions spewing right wing proganda for a profit at everyone expense, you really are "deplorable" .

And what does that mean exactly? Letting law enforcement do its job (as in the case of the recent NYC events) is NOT being weak on terrorism; it is exactly what should be done.

Wingnuts must think anything less than turning the Middle East into glass is not being "tough" on terrorism.

Yeah, Trump is communicating EXACTLY THE WRONG KIND OF TOUGHNESS. The bullshit kind. The John Wayne-tough-talk kind (you know where he talked tough but then made movies during WWII, instead of actually fighting himself).

Trump, like every other fucking chickenhawk before him, is "all hat, no cattle."
